DRAWING. 
Have each pupil prepare a drawing of his home farm, locating buildings, yards, 
barn lots, permanent pasture, orchards, streams, springs, woodland, roadways around 
or through the farm, crops as planned for the year, the prize acres and plats, etc. 
After an accurate outline has been drawn the map can be made attractive by filling 
in with seed, fiber, pictures of fruit, stock, farm implements, flowers, and houses at 
proper places on the map. On farms where a system of rotation is followed a set of 
maps should be drawn representing the location of the crops for each year of the 
course. 
Study the history of the agricultural-club movement in your State and in other 
States. Collect and study data as to records of prize winners, methods employed 
by them, and value of prizes and advertising received by the winners. Study the 
systems of judging yields employed in your State and other States. 
GEOGRAPHY. 
Prepare a map of the United States and indicate the States in which there has been 
club activity, the kinds of clubs, and prepare a statement in this connection showing 
the influence of the club movement on the school and farm work of each State. Also 
study the influence of clubs on increased production, crop marketing, home life, and 
health. 
ARITHMETIC 
Develop problems on the cost of farm fencing. Special attention should be given 
to the cost of constructing temporary hog and poultry fences. Exercises in this phase 
of the work should be developed for the benefit of the club members. Problems relat- 
ing to the cost and value of grazing crops for hogs and poultry should be developed. 
EXCURSIONS AND PRACTICAL WORK. 
The time that can be devoted to excursions should be spent in visiting the different 
club members' patches for the purpose of observing the methods and thoroughness of 
preparation. 
Practical work for this month should consist in preparing plats and patches for 
planting the contest crops.
